That's it for now. My 2 cents...

I use Road Runner as my preferred front end and it uses a voice control plugin as well by taking advantage of the MS speech SDK voice recognition. With it I use the andrea USB superbeam microphone. Works great. The key is to have a push to talk button. Something that tells it to "listen" for a specified amount of time after that button is pressed. I believe this is how the Microsoft Sync system works in the new fords. Otherwise there is just too much confusion with road noise and other noises in the car. It also pauses the music for 3 seconds after the button is pressed to allow an even more quieter environment. The pause timer and listening timer are both configurable along with voice responses and a bunch of other goodies. Maybe not the easiest plug and play type of software SD is aiming for but it works really well.
Just thought I would chime in from RR land..
